We all have those days where we feel a little down in the dumps. Whether it’s from a stressful day at work, a bad breakup, or unexpected life events, feeling low is a natural part of the human experience. However, staying in that negative headspace isn’t healthy or productive. Sometimes all it takes to shift your mood is a little pick-me-up. Here are 6 ways to raise your vibration when you’re feeling low.
Practice Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful and necessary part of our well-being. By practicing gratitude you can boost your mood and be more appreciative of the things you have in your life. You can start by keeping a journal specifically dedicated to expressing thanks. In this journal, you will write down 5 things you’re grateful for every day. You can write down anything from a compliment you received, to an act of kindness you witnessed. By taking a few minutes each day to focus on one positive experience from the day, will help you gain an appreciation for all of the little moments that make life special. This simple activity can help put things into perspective and remind you of the good things in your life.
Also, don’t forget to express gratitude directly to others. Whenever someone does something nice for you or takes the time to listen, take a moment to truly thank them. Letting people know how much they mean to you can make a huge difference in their life and yours.
Move Your Body
Exercise is known for getting the body in shape, but it also has its mood-boosting benefits. Endorphins, which are your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals, are released when you exercise. You don’t have to become a marathon runner or powerlifter to reap the mood-elevating benefits of exercise. Just a short walk or run can make a difference in how you feel.
Exercise has been linked to improved self-esteem, decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression, and can even help improve concentration levels, and sleep quality. Regular exercise can help your body become accustomed to a certain bedtime and wake time, as well as help you relax after an active day. Not only will it make you physically tired, but it can also help reduce the stress that keeps you up at night. So find an exercise routine that is fun and works for you, as it can create a positive cycle of motivation.
Listen to Music
Put on your favorite playlist and let the music move you. Listening to music can help release emotions and help you feel more energized. Whatever genre of music resonates with you and your emotions, use music as an outlet for expressing yourself and your feelings. If you’re feeling anxious, playing a calming melody may help reduce some of that tension. Or if you want to get energized, play something upbeat and let the rhythm carry you away! Music is a powerful tool for lifting spirits, reducing stress, and helping to provide a sense of balance in life.
Don’t forget that the power of music isn’t just limited to listening. Playing an instrument can be another great way to express yourself and your emotions. Whether you’re strumming a guitar or banging on the drums, playing an instrument can be an incredibly cathartic experience. It’s also a great way to improve your focus and concentration. Studies have shown that learning to play an instrument can help boost your brain power and even sharpen memory skills.
Get Creative
Engaging in creative activities can help you feel more grounded, calm and alive. Paint, draw, write, or sing, allow your creative expression to flow. No matter what you’re creating, give yourself permission to get lost in the process. Creating something doesn’t have to mean making a masterpiece – it can simply be about finding joy in the creation process. Expressing yourself creatively will help open up your body, mind, and soul. After some time, you’ll probably even find yourself feeling more connected to the world around you.
Additionally, engaging in a creative activity can provide a sense of accomplishment and foster self-confidence. When you finish a project that you’ve been working hard on, it can give you great satisfaction to see the outcome of your efforts. So find something creative that inspires you, and don’t be afraid to take a chance. You never know what amazing things will happen when you let your creativity shine through.
Practice Self-Care
Self-care is essential to a healthy, happy life. Take care of yourself by doing activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it’s taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or curling up with a good book, make time for yourself. Treating yourself to a warm bath can help you relax and rejuvenate. Add some essential oils, candles, and your favorite music to create the ultimate self-care experience. Going for a walk can help you get out of your head and clear your thoughts. Appreciate the beauty of nature, listen to the birds chirping, and relax. Alternatively, if it’s raining outside, curling up with a good book is an excellent self-care activity. Choose something you’ll enjoy reading and take your time to relax with it. Not only can reading help reduce stress, but it can also broaden your horizons by introducing you to new ideas and perspectives. No matter what self-care activities you choose, make sure they bring you joy and help you relax.
Affirmations
Affirmations are a great way to raise your vibration because they allow you to focus on the positive aspects of your life. When we focus on what’s going well, our vibration rises and this helps us to attract more good things into our lives. Affirmations can take many forms: words, pictures, visualizations or even written statements that we can repeat to ourselves throughout the day.
The key is to make sure that the affirmations resonate with you and that they focus on the positive aspects of life. For example, instead of saying “I am not stressed”, try saying “I am relaxed and calm” or “I am feeling peaceful right now.” You can also create your own affirmations based on what matters to you personally. Whatever affirmations you choose, make sure that you repeat them often, with strong feelings and without judgment.
